There will be a civil war in the Republican Party, between the people who believe the Party has gone too far to the right, and the people who believe that the Party just had the wrong messenger this time.

Personally, I think William Kristol's support for -- sponsorship of -- Palin, and his whole philosophy are products of a sad, original failure to rebel against his father, Irving Kristol.

The collapse of the economy did not mean the collapse of the McCain campaign -- no, what killed the McCain campaign was simply John McCain's campaign.

I have no idea what General Powell might do with regard to his Meet the Press appearance on Sunday -- but I know that he's pondering something big.

The Palinistas are far less interested in electing McCain than they are in putting the Sarahnator one step away from the White House (and, they hope, in it soon).

The McCain-Palin ticket has had a severe impact on the writers of the right and sent them running for the hills. Witness the crescendo of the stampede.

I humbly offer my advice on McCain's best chance to pull off the upset. The answer is as simple as it is unconventional: McCain should immediately concede the election.

The New York Times should liberate this "fifth columnist" from his contract so that he is free to officially join the Palin campaign.
David Latt | Posted 09.29.2008 | Media
Both McCain and Palin, according to Kristol, need to be unleashed. But that doesn't mean set free to constructively debate the important issues of the day. No. All Kristol wants is ad hominen vitriol.

The association of Obama with Kennedy was due, in large part, to their shared oratorical talents. This week's Berlin speech makes that association even more pertinent.

Obviously, Tony Snow was not the happy promoter of right wing ideology -- the man of "cheerful confidence" -- we all took him to be. He was, instead, some sort of philosophical genius.

Even though Sen. McCain didn't truly denounce Charlie Black and, instead, basically supported the lobbyist's awful statements, the very serious cable news people are giving McCain a pass on this thing.
